    Bombers looked poor. Cats not much better. 

    Hightlight of the match was a kid doing some commentary for a few minutes. Nailed it

    Can't take any notice of pre season games. Druggies will finish higher than the cats at the end of the year.

    Geelong are almost certain to play finals, but it's false hope in my view.  They have a serious home ground advantage, especially against to poorer interstate teams, so they chalk up around 7 wins just from that.  They will then have away games against some of those poorer sides, so they are almost good for that 12 win season that generally sees you sneak in to 8th.

    As soon as they are playing on big grounds against better opposition, especially in September, they are useless.

    I'd prefer them not to make it at all, rather than be embarrassed in the first final.

    Maybe they are deliberately trying to Fly under the bridge, Pre season matches, to catch by surprise.   I expect them to push up the ladder in 2019. IF they have they're heads down and rsses up.

    Adelaide look ok.  Top 4 quality with easy draw.  Only real weakness is the ruck.

    Jacobs is ok...

    I think their 2 big forwards are front runners & their defence could be suspect against good opposition talls.

    Also need to keep their small/medium defenders honest, that's where they launch from.

    Hoping we can sneak into the 8 with a hard fought win this arvo...

    According to my calculations we're still a massive chance for Jalapeno top-four - and even a sneaky shot at runners up behind Carton (hehe) or, as official moral pre-season premiers, Collingwood. Go Dees!

    (Damn - forgot about Radelaide)

    Will be hoping and praying that Richmond, GC and Carlton get done this weekend to sneak into the top 6.

    Sadly I think top 4 is out of the question as  Collingwood and Carlton play each other, while WC and Brisbane’s percentage may be too hard to overtake.

    Hats off to the Crows for a fantastic Jalepano series.

    At the risk of unsettling the MFCSS-superstitious masses prior to the season proper, my predicted 80-point win over a travelling BrisVegas outfit should see to that percentage deficit quick-smart.

    One of Port or Norf in their game should change jumpers at half time. Ridiculous choice of strips in my eyes.

    AFL will be happy with Port v Norf scoring fest.  At one stage North kicked 5 goals in 5 minutes from 5 consecutive centre clearances.

    dominant ruckmen feeding big bodied mids who can kick it to leading forwards will be worth their weight in gold in 2019

    Big game for us today in the context of the Jalapeño Lettuce & Tomato season.

    Brisbane sitting pretty in second spot and will be keen to post another win to lock in a top four finish and due to our reasonable percentage, a win for us should see us slot into the top 8.

     

     

    ...hmmm, I should have read the rest of the thread better before duplicatING a fairly obvious point.  Ar well, I guess it is just a preseason post, doesn't count for as much as posts in a few weeks time against Port.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
